![]() It starts with a fire that takes the lives of the children who live in Heller Home. ![]() So what’s on the inside? An amazing, creepy story of an ancient demon named Moloch that wants the souls of the people who live in the town of Morganville, North Carolina. It didn’t help that there is a sticker on the back that I thought was real as well. It’s so convincing that I was irritated at first, thinking Amazon had sent me a used copy. The cover also looks weathered and stressed, like an 80s book you’d find in a used bookstore. The cover is black, of course, but the creepy picture on the front does match the story. James has a love of those old paperbacks and it shows in The Wicked, not only in the story, but in the cover as well. I have quite a collection of them myself. You know the ones - they pretty much all had black covers and lurid pictures that had nothing to do with the story inside. The word going around on this book is that hearkens back to the 80s, when horror was found on paperback racks in any grocery or drug store. ![]() And I can honestly say that The Wicked KICKS ASS. And since James and I are friends, he knows me pretty well, and knows that I am honest in my reviews of fellow writers. The horror community is relatively small a lot of us are friends or at least know of each other. I’ll say this up front - James is a good friend of mine. ![]()
